SPRING HILL.

Capt. Hogan reports business good
If we only had that railroad-but
prospects are good for. securing it.
Your correspondent was in Richmond
and Cold Springs recently and upon
inquiring as TO the possibility of
Spring Hill securing a branch line,
was informed that the road would be
built. The information was given by
reliable business man of Cold
Springs. Everybody recognizes the
fact that Sprlrg Hill is excellently
situated for a business town. Shall
we who live here be blind to the fact?
Remember! Do all you possibly can.
Use every consistent means to secure
the railroad, and thereby advance the
interests of your town, and at the
same time your own. .-....
Now, to come to the all absorbing
question, shows the railroad? ?" That
editorial in the HERALD was re.as-
surfing and encouraging. Don't al
low the subject to drop. Talk, push,
no matter what other folks think or
say. Don't be blind to your own in
terests. Prospects are brighter than
is supposed. Arouse attention, and
discussion on the subject. Talk rail-
road. Exertion on our part to secure
the road will be appreciated Ivy the
proper authorities. Every little
helps. Think of the proud position
Spring Hill will occupy, when the
rail road is here. The future will
show the wisdom of our course, if
we do all in our power to induce the
parties concerned to build the road
here.
The Fourth was celebrated here in
grand style. Solemn High Mass was

identified with many prominent
schemes involving special legislation,
and has been an inveterate and bold

THE MELROSE REcOR D.

The celebration at this place on the
Fourth was a grand event and attend
ed by large number of people from
all the outside towns. The process
sion from City Hall to the grounds in
Clark's Grove was quite an imposing
sight. The procession formed at 10
a. m. headed by the Meiere's Grove
Brass Band, which dispensed some
very pleasant as well as appropriate
music along the line of march, and
throughout the day. The firemen
were in full Uniform, as were the Van

Two women from the dense forest
north of this village came to town on
the Fourth to celebrate. For some
reason unknown, bad blood arose be-

BLAINE ABROAD.

Mr.. Blaine, Americas most dis
tinguished private citizen, has been
received in London with remarkable
enthusiasm by all parties and classes.
This is the more remarkable when 1t
is considered that Mr.. Blaine holds
very decided opinions upon several
very important measures in which
England is deeply Interested. He is
an outspoken sympathizer with
Ireland, and his views on the tariff
are Numerically opposed to the
English policy of free trade. Says a
recent cablegram
The attention paid him by every.
one is more than has ever been paid
to any American citizen by the
English people with the single ex-
ceptlon Of Gen. Grant, Blaine has
not received the same official atten-
ton as did Gen. Grant, but the
private Inequalities Of the most dis
tinguished people of London have
been showered upon him in II way
that is surprising when it is con-
sidered that he is generally regarded
by the English people as great
enemy to England, and one OF The
most firm supporters of the cause
of Irish independence. The Ameri.
can legation here has also paid Blaine
great civility, and has procured for
him invitations to important official
gatherings. The minister has gone
out of his way to show courtesy to
him. At the Legation it is said that
Diplomatic service knows no poll
tics, and attentions paid to Blaine
are due him from his prominence
and position at home. He and his
family have now been in London a
fortnight, and during that time have
had from four to five invitations to
dine or lunch or to attend some re-
ception each day. 1t might have
been expected that leading Liberals
like Gladstone and Reseberry would
show attention to Blaine, but cour-
tesies of the leading Tory houses,
like those Of the Duke st. Adams,
Earl Carnarovan, Baroness Burdett-
Coutts, the Earl of Jersey and many
others of the same type, have, If
possible, been still more marked.
The lord mayor sent an invitation to
his ball to the Blaine family. This
is one of the great events of the
London season. Although the
Baines have not been presented at
court, Wednesday they were pres
ent at the Queens garden party at
Buckingham Palace-the most bril-
liant royal party known in London
since the death of Prince Albert in
1861. The compliment of this invi-
tation was unusual, because invita-
tions to royal entertainments are
confined TO people who have been
presented at court. At the dinners
and lunches which Blaine attended,
there have been frequent political
discussions, to which he has been
made.,a party, touching American
politics and also the Irish question.
Many stories are current in London
society concerning them, and uni
formly represent Blaine as gal
lantly standing up for the defense OF
his views turning with ready and
adroit aggressiyeness upon his En-
glish friends with his old-time
ability as aebater. He never has
avoided these political discussions.
but has never sought to introduce
politics as the subject himself,

THE COUNTY ALLIANCE.

At Melrose, on Tuesday next, the
annual meeting of the County ALI
ance will be held. There is plenty of
material for this meeting to consider
in the interest OF agriculture, and it
= is suggested that some time be given
to comparing notes and figures on
the expense and profits of wheat
growing in Stearns county. What
does it cost for the average farmer to
raise wheat, and how much money is
there in an acre of it at the average
price? The HERALD firmly believes
that consideration of the accurate
figures will prove most discouraging.
Again, the question is asked, what is
more profitable? Butter and stock
are both very low in the market.
This is unquestionably true, and
there is little profit in raising scrub
stock either for the dairy or the
block. But it costs little if any more
to support a cow which will fill a
large pail than small one, or to raise
a steer which will dress nine or ten
hundred than one which will weigh
that amount on the hoof.
Said a very successful farmer who
is a member of the Alliance, 81 sold
team of young horses recently for
$3.50, and they cost me no more to
raise than pair of steers, and 1 have
another similar team which 1 offered
for $500, and 1 am afraid the offer
will be accepted. They are worth
more money" Here is an opening
which cannot fail to yield a hand
some profit, providing attention is
given to strains. At present our
farmers are in this matter of raising
horses, confining themselves almost
wholly to heavy or draft strains for
farm work. The result is very evil
dent to one who will look back few
years and compare the horses driven
by farmers to-day with those of ten,
or even FIVE, years ago. There is
marked Improvement. But there is
steady and urgent demand for driv-
ing horses, and the cities of st. Paul
and Minneapolis are absorbing thous-
ands of them every year, bringing
them in from Iowa, Illinois, Wiscon.
sin and Missouri. Situated as we are
relative to these cities and Duluth
there is and will BIO a constant and
profitable market here for single
horses and carriage teams of the bet
ter class, and our farmers can avail
themselves of it if they will. The
cost of raising horse worth from
two to five hundred dollars is a trifle
more only than raising one worth
seventy-ive or one hundred dollars
The sheep industry is almost en-
tirely neglected. This animal is sale
to be golden -hoofed." 1t yields two
profits annually, one in wool and ont
in mutton.
The farmer need not feel at a.
alarmed that with the decadence Of
wheat-growing will follow depreci'
alton of his profits, or the value OF
his farm. Quite the contrary. The
sooner he ceases to rely upon wheat
and gives close attention to some
branch of agriculture which shall
employ his capital and time twelve
months in the year the sooner will
he rise to height of independence
from which he can survey the world
with complacency.
